As believers, we have assurance of God holding us (not us holding God). Not only that, but we also have His Word to daily comfort us on our journey.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
(Psalms 103:10-12)
Satan can use the weight of guilt to immobilize us and cast a barrier between us and God. But we are forgiven! And this forgiveness is done God’s way, not man’s.
These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. (Psalms 104:27-30)
God’s hand is still at work in nature. He still watches over everything and cares for them.

So true! I always liked the illustration Jesus used about us being in His hand and Him being in God's hand. A beautiful picture of eternal security! No one can pluck us out of their hands!
